Talked to in the Crag of Joustus "Leo: I heard there is a fancy shop nearby, but where is it? I can't be sartorially superior if I'm not clad in couture.
Speaking of superiority.. care to play Joustus? I'm quite good.
"
Accepting the duel "Leo: Let's enjoy a round or two, before I continue pacing about this cabin, unimpressed."

Talked to in the Armor Outpost "Leo: I buy only the best! And for my latest purchase, unfortunately... I'm only 1000 gold short!"
Refusing to lend money "Leo: Not enough to loan me, eh? Come now, sir, I assure you I'm good for it!"
